In his room, Acharya has nightmares of blood streams gushing out of closed doors. he wakes up with a startle palpitating heavily. he wonders what this could possibly mean. he gets up and goes out of the room.

The next morning, everyone is shocked, as they all go out in the public courtyard, wherein they find Sushim’s tantric’s body, hung from a rope, with the noose around the neck. all are horrified, including Mahamatya, while sushim is aghast. sushim finds a note saying that this would be the fate of everyone going against gondna. siamak thinks that this isnt their work, then who did it. From a distance, ashoka thinks that sushim had killed his mentor, and halved his powers, and he just reciprocated the favour and that now its time to start the culmination of a united India, whose first chapter has just been written. sushim aggressively asks who dared to kill him. ashoka walks to them, while they all eye him tensedly. he says that its clearly mentioned that its Gondna. he intentionally taunts sushim, that he wonders who must have killed him so barbarously. he says that he is grieved to know what must the pupil be going through right now, as he must have had many disciples. he says that he can understand, as he had lost his own mentor. sushim remembers the tantric’s warnings, and says that he doesnt doubt, but has full belief, that ashoka did this, and eyes him angrily. ashoka asks him to talk it out clearly whatever he wishes to. sushim gets enraged, and understands that ashoka is behind this, and lunges at his throat. But bindu comes in just then, and asks whats going on. sushim is barely able to restrain himself. bindu arrives with dharma and eyes the body. the brothers restrain themselves. bindu eyes the letter too, pointing the murder towards gondna, and is enraged wondering what could be the possible motive, and how he is bearing one atrocity after the othr, and now he has resorted to killing too, and till now they havent found any intel on him. he orders them to be prsent right away in the courtroom. sushim asks them to dispose the body off as they wish to. he leaves in a huff. ashoka asks the guards to dispose the body with proper rites. he says that whoever it be, whether they are related or not, its the right of a dead person, to have his final rites. kaurvaki steps out and is shocked to find the tantric’s body, and has visions of last night, thinking that she saw him somewhere and wonders if ashoka is behind this.

Later, as ashoka walks through the corridors, kaurvaki confronts him, taking him aside. he taunts her by searching whats it, that brings her to him always, attracted by something. Kaurvaki confronts ashoka, identifying the tantric, saying that this is the same person last night, atop the mountain, in the cave. he is tensed. she asks him point blank that he killed him. ashoka thinks that if anyone finds out that he killed the tantric and not gondna, then his plan shall be ruined. she asks him to speak up somthing, as she is tensed, and knows that she is helpless, but remembers something of what happened last night. she says that she ate some berries, that caused her vision to go hazy. bu she recollects everything, but says that being in the darkness, she couldnt identify who the tantric was attacking, then why is she casting baseless allegations at him, and tries to emotionally blackmail her asking if she actually thinks he can do it. she is convinced but asks what was he doing then. he says that he was spying on gondna. then he retaliates, he asks why was she following him like that, just to get close to him. she is at a loss of answer, wherein he continues to reprimand her for this unladylike behaviour, and asks her what if dharma had seen it. she is set to thinking, while he is relieved that he managed to successfully distract her. The screen freezes on his tensed face.
